Default RE: Expensive US made vs Chinese Batteries

really?
We have F3A models and use the "inexpensive" 5 cell 5000 ma packs (10cell setup.)
We have friends who are using Thunderpower exclusively - but in actual camparison flying- the cheapies work every bit as well-and we do check power consumed and recharge capacities
The TP also puff more easily - -if you push em hard. I also bought some TP cells in larger sizes to compare - -I see no advantage to using em tho years back -they were better.
There are a number of Chinese packs on the market and I have yet to run into any of em which are a problem.
Problem is typically the user .
